Enchantment

Enchantment

Love is not the opposite of hate
that fiery passion
which turns against our heart
like a python through the blood
constricting life

love is what we yearn for
to create delicious selves
the flavouring in our lives
it is a thief that creeps upon us
or steals us from the start

of all the humours
love believes itself supreme
the drug we cannot do without
we are joyful in its midst
or a victim of its curse.
